Cadbury Shortbread Biscuits
With Easter coming up, I knew I had to share something special with you guys! Cadbury have pretty much got the Easter market cornered, especially with Creme Eggs, which are stuffed into brownies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, and more at this time of year! I always make a special food gift for my fiance for Valentine’s Day, and since his two favorite treats are Creme Eggs and Chocolate Caramel Shortbread, the choice was simple – combine them!
So, I created a decadent homemade Cadbury Creme Egg Chocolate Caramel Shortbread! With a moreish shortbread layer on the base, paired with gorgeous homemade caramel, and topped with a thick layer of milk and plain chocolate. Normally we’d call it a day there… but we’re going to add chopped up Creme Eggs to the top!

Don’t even think about the calories involved! You MUST make this if you’re a Creme Egg fan! Though needless to say this would also taste great with caramel eggs, daim bar eggs or anything else you want to use!
If you’re unfamiliar with any of the ingredients used, here’s a little explanation for you:
- caster sugar – also called superfine sugar in the US – you could also use light brown sugar
- plain chocolate – between milk and dark chocolate but may be billed as ‘dark’ chocolate in your local supermarket – plain has between 50 and 60% cocoa solids, such as Bournville. I always use the cheapest one available or you could use dark chocolate if you can’t find it
Getting your caramel to set
Uncharted 3 free download. Making caramel is notoriously tricky, so read the instructions below carefully before starting out and stir your caramel CONSTANTLY as it cooks. While I give some guideline timings below, you need to keep cooking your caramel until its the consistency of a very thick yoghurt or gravy, and then allow it to cool completely in a bowl (not the saucepan you cooked it in) until it’s very thick (it should stay on your spoon and not drop off).
- For the shortbread base
- 150g / 5.3 ounces / 1 stick plus 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 50g / 1.7 ounces / ¼ cup golden caster sugar
- 160g / 5.6 ounces / 1⅓ cups plain flour
- For the caramel layer
- 1 397g can condensed milk (normal sized can)
- 150g / 5.3 ounces / 1 stick plus 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 150g / 5.3 ounces / ¾ cup golden caster sugar
- For the chocolate
- 100g / 3.5 ounces / ½ cup milk chocolate
- 200g / 7 ounces / 1 cup plain chocolate
- For the Creme Egg topping
- 3 Cadbury Creme Eggs (or however many you want - go crazy!)
- Preheat your oven to 180C/gas mark 4/350F and prepare a square or rectangular tin that's roughly 9 inch square (if you use a smaller tin, your Shortbread will just be thicker).
- For the shortbread
- To make your shortbread base, combine the very soft butter with the sugar, and then mix in the flour until you have a delicious mess. Pop into your tin, and work into the corners with the back of a wet spoon (it's sticky!). Prick with a fork all over, and bake for 25-30 minutes (depending on oven shelf - mine was on the middle shelf) or until golden brown (see photo in post). Remove and leave to cool COMPLETELY before you add the caramel layer.
- For the caramel layer
- To make your caramel, combine the condensed milk, butter and sugar together in a saucepan over a very low heat. Stir constantly as the mixture melts together. Once it's all melted, increase the heat to medium, but be sure to stir it constantly.
- As the sugar dissolves, the mixture will turn from yellow-y to golden, and thicken (see pictures below). Heat gently for approx ten minutes, until it's come to a gentle boil (it should JUST be bubbling slightly and you should be stirring constantly and watching it like a hawk). Once it's the thickness of a very thick yoghurt or gravy, remove from the heat and pour into a cold bowl to cool down completely. Once cool, pour it onto your shortbread layer.
- For the chocolate
- Simply break your two bars of chocolate into chunks and pop into a microwave proof bowl. Heat on 30 second intervals until soft, not forgetting to remove and stir after every 30 seconds. Be careful - the bowl may get very hot! When it's almost melted, remove from the microwave as the residual heat will continue to melt the chocolate.
- Pour over your caramel layer, using the back of a spoon to spread into the corners.
- For the Creme Egg topping
- I separated the creme eggs as much in half as possible, then just placed 'artistically' on top of the still melty chocolate layer.
- Chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight. Use a very sharp knife (dip in boiling water if you're having trouble cutting) to cut into squares.
